dampen it with a sponge. use on a very smooth surface. get it on thick
enough to hold together when you pull.
If it is too thin, it can take forever to remove. Same also if it is on
a rough texture. Wetting it with a sponge helps a lot..at least the
Seattle pottery latex that I use.

I found latex to have an awfully potent smell to it - had to work outside.
My latex was repackaged by my supplier and had no directions or warning on
the container. I am wondering if a mask is needed.

Too impatient to wait a day for my regular wax resist to dry
I grabbed the jar of Goodrich Latex I bought for mold making.
I added some water to what was in the lid and brushed it on
glazed handles. It took only 10-15 minutes to dry. I dipped the
pot in a bucket of glaze... and yippee ....there were no nasty glaze dots
on the latex to wipe off. I then decided to try to remove the latex
as I didn't want that burning off in the kiln. It came off beautifully.....
in one piece and didn't pull off any of the glaze.
It is more expensive than wax resist but saved time and annoyance.
And that...... as Martha Stewart says..... "Is a good thing!"
I wish they would stop picking on Martha!!!! Let them go pick on the
corporate moguls, politicians, lawyers and likely 98% of Wall street people
who have been involved in insider trading and made fortunes.

Christena,
I found my finger would
catch" on a spot where there was a
blob of Latex.
So I would say if you intentionally apply
more resist in one spot you can grab it
with a needle tool or fingernail and pull it off easily.

Do you have any tips for peeling off the resist? I have recently tried
latex for some complex designs and found it worked great but that I had
some trouble getting hold of it to peel it off.

Ha! I have been using latex for years and years...it is wonderful. As I
need to make resisted areas on leather hard clay, and then remove the resist
and work on the previously resisted areas, latex is invaluable.
The drawback is that it's death on brushes. I buy packets of cheap brushes
sold for school children's use and that works well. I also rub dishwashing
detergent in the bristles and allow to dry before dipping in the latex,
rinse asap and so on....but still the brushes don't last.
I also keep liquid, "cold" wax. But that is for when I need to retard drying
on a large area--a rim, a foot.

One less fume to burn off in the kiln. It is a very versatile tool. =20

Thanks for the info on latex. I bought some to try out in a few days. You
applied it over existing glaze without its pulling off the existing glaze
which is what I'm hoping for. I also want to make cut-outs from
super-absorbant paper towels, dip them in glaze, and apply to an already
glazed piece for ^8 to ^10 firing. Have you tried anything like this?
Amen to your comments about Martha. And, do you recall Leona Helmsley? Why
did these two woman merit TV movies when men who've done as bad or much much
worse get ignored? Maybe because successful women still aren't acceptable?
I'm not a raging feminist but certainly believe that rewards should be the
same for either sex, or religion, or race, or sexual preferences. There! My
rant!

The smell is due to ammonia, which is used as the vehicle
for liquid latex. Only a high-quality organic vapor
respirator will stop the smell...the 'purple filter' fume
type doesn't do it, and a dust-and-mist mask is useless.
If you plan to use a lot of latex, $40 US for a proper
respirator is money well-spent, IMHO. For occasional use,
just keep that fresh air flowing! (Just being outside may
not be sufficient if the air is calm, so use a good fan to
keep the fumes away from your work area.) A good
respirator can be used for lots of other things, though.
Be sure to keep it in a ziploc freezer bag when not in
use, though, to avoid contamination of the 'face' side of
the filters. (An OSHA regulation that I don't mind!) ;)
There is a low-fume latex available now, though it's more
expensive and a bit scarcer than the ammonia-based
latexes. Haven't tried is myself, as I seldom use latex,
but it may be worth a try.
I believe that ammonia, though stinky and unpleasant,
isn't nearly as toxic as some other things we might use,
like paint thinner, etc. (Edouard et al, please correct
me if I'm wrong!) It's still nasty, however, and the
fumes should be avoided.

carole,
You may have the type of latex that use Ammonia based. I use a water
base. Ammonia is very smelly and probably not good to inhale. I know
Seattle Pottery, one of my main suppliers, sells both Ammonia based
latex and water based latex. I don't know the advantages of ammonia
based latex.
See you in the Fall while I am in the east!

I find the artist's latex resist usually needs 2 coats if you want to be
able to easily peel it off. (It works fine with one coat, but tends to be
hard to lift off and it also rips, making you start the peeling
process all over.)

When I was working with theater makeup we used liquid latex to adhere
moustaches and beards. Yes, the smell was wicked but that is what is used
with few if any problems. The stuff we used was pink and we bought it from
theater makeup supply houses.
